2.
Top 10 Reasons Why Companies Choose Apttus
Improving the Quote-to-Cash process is a sure way to boost revenue, improve customer responsiveness
and reduce risks. What makes Apttus the clear Quote-to-Cash choice for over 500,000 users is our
comprehensive functionality, world-class cloud delivery and innovative usability – all built on the
Salesforce1 platform.
Comprehensive Functionality
1. Full Quote-to-Cash all inside Salesforce: Apttus offers the world’s only fully integrated solution for
Configure Price Quote (CPQ), Contract Management and Revenue Management – all built on the
Salesforce1 platform. A $5B software provider estimates they are increasing revenue $100M a year by
using Apttus to eliminate manual sales workarounds, reduce rogue discounting with new deals, and
identify more upsell and cross-sell opportunities during renewals.
2. Insight and visibility into contracts: Only Apttus provides detailed visibility into contracts
throughout the Quote-to-Cash process, so customers can intelligently create orders, manage revenue
and renew orders that adhere to agreed-upon terms and pricing. Before they started using Apttus, one
high-tech manufacturer estimated that 20% of their contracts failed to include auto-increase clauses
during the renewal process, costing them millions each year.
3. Advanced Quote-to-Cash innovations: Apttus frequently delivers innovations beyond standard CPQ
and Contracts, including Deal Management, Quote-to-Cash Intelligence, E-Commerce and Dynamic
CPQ. Within weeks of rolling out Apttus Deal Management to help rate deals in just 10% of their divisions,
a $5B security company saved $2M, with a projected overall savings of $10M each year.

World-Class Cloud Delivery
4. Point-and-click modeling for business agility: Built on Salesforce1, Apttus makes it easy for
customers to support new business scenarios, such as new markets, product lines or channels. A $1B
technology company realized that legacy systems were too rigid to allow sales people to be effective and
threatened to sabotage their growth goals. With Apttus, they can now meet their revenue targets by
quickly rolling out new products and services to their sales channels.
5. Trusted and secure: Apttus is built on the world’s most trusted and secure cloud platform –
Salesforce1. The Salesforce1 platform meets the most international security standards in the world,
including FISMA, SSAE 16 (formerly SAS 70), ISO 27001, PCI-DSS Level 1, Safe Harbor and TRUSTe
standards. No Apttus customer has ever had any pricing, contractual or financial data compromised.
6. Global reliability and scalability: The Salesforce1 platform meets the needs of truly global
companies, with support for over 30 languages and 160 currencies. Apttus is built on the most globally
reliable and scalable cloud platform, managing over 1.5B transactions a day on 8 global data centers,
with 99.9% uptime. Thanks to the global scalability of the platform, a $15B services provider is using
Apttus to process almost 15,000 quotes a month.
7. Seamless upgrades: Unlike many solution providers whose upgrades are equivalent to fresh
implementations costing millions of dollars in services, Apttus makes it easy for customers to upgrade to
the latest release. Hewlett-Packard was able to roll out Apttus to 30,000 users in just 4 months.
Innovative Usability
8. Microsoft Office with enterprise controls: Apttus X-Author makes it possible to efficiently manage
the entire Quote-to-Cash process by just using Microsoft Office, while adhering to business rules and
standards defined in Apttus. Apttus allows the Salesforce.com Legal team to define legal playbooks and
manage contracts inside Microsoft Word, so contract managers and junior attorneys can leverage the
experience and wisdom of Salesforce’s most senior attorneys.
9. Quote-to-Cash anywhere: Because Apttus is built on the Salesforce1 platform, customers can use
any device – smartphone, tablet, desktop browser or even offline use – to easily manage quotes,
contracts and revenue. Larry Dunivan, the CIO of Ceridian, states, “We were extremely impressed with
the ease-of-use of all Apttus applications, and the ability to complete quotes on the iPad was key to
meeting our vision for increased sales productivity in the field.”
10. Advanced collaboration: Apttus X-Author allows stakeholders to quickly resolve issues by using
Salesforce Chatter inside Microsoft Office. A leading business publication and multimedia company is
improving customer responsiveness by sharing RFP information for review, feedback and approval
through Chatter embedded in Microsoft Office – with all interactions tracked in Salesforce.
